[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Highly recommend Backyard Discovery gazebos. Instructions were easy to follow and easy to assemble. I was able to assemble 90% solo. Only when the two halves were put together and the roof attached did I need assistance. Gazebo looks GREAT!

Based on the reviews I read before purchasing I expected to be very pleased with the product and overall experience - including the assembly process. I can say that this expectation was met! The product was packaged well and arrived completely undamaged. The assembly instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. That said - preparing and assembling this item is a BIG job... We decided to stain all of our wood pieces before assembling, which in hindsight I'm very glad we went this route. I did most of the work on my own, but there are several steps where several people are definitely needed. Getting the roof panels on, squared and attached was a bit of a challenge, but we got it all in place after some trial and error. The entire process took several weekends to complete. It's been up for couple of weeks now and has already been through several rain storms and a couple of thunderstorms. Happy to say it's held up w/o any issues!

Absolutely no surprises with this purchase. Delivery was smooth and quick. Assembly directions were very clear I used both (instruction book included in shipment and 3D version from the app). All of the components (there are a lot) were clearly marked and none were missing. No cutting, drilling, modifying of any kind. I did treat all wood components with a tinted sealer before assembly, to help with moisture protection and give it a deeper color. Most of the assembly I did by myself but about 20% you will defiantly need a couple buddies, especially the roof, but it’s all very doable. I included electrical so I could add two ceiling fans and some party lights. I couldn’t be happier at how it improved my outdoor space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely adore our new Gazebo! It has transformed our backyard into a vibrant living space. The assembly instructions were straightforward, and the accompanying app was incredibly useful. Moreover, the products used are of exceptionally high quality.

I researched different companies. None of then compared in quality. Sure you could spend less, but it would not be half the quality. The packaging is great. The lumber was in good condition. It is a big project. There are so many parts. Please keep everything organized. It probably should require 4 strong people, but helpers don't usually appear. My wife, son, and myself did the whole project in 2 days. I'm 54, my wife is 36, and my son is 13. The project goes together pretty straight forward. Have the correct tools and read twice. They do provide extra hardware in case you lose one. Overall we have been extremely thrilled. I would highly recommend.

We picked up the 16x12 Norwood to extend the coverage of our new stone patio. Everything arrived intake, all parts were labeled clearly, and instructions were very easy to follow. We are just normal homeowners (45 yrs old, owned our home for 20 yrs) and were able to fully assemble the gazebo ourselves. We did need a few extra hands to erect each half and it made it way easier to get the roof panels up when someone hands them up to you while you're on the ladder. We put our gazebo up on 20" concrete blocks to match the height of our existing patio cover. Can't be more pleased. We will update when we get all the accessories installed (lights, fans, etc.) Definitely would recommend this brand!!

Everyone loves the gazebo, but you should know the corner posts are hollow and the long sides come in 3 separate pieces bolted together. Also, the metal roof doesn't have flashing at the side trim but really should have to prevent or ice from building on your roof. Design is nice once you finally get it together!

I purchased the Backyard Discovery - 16x12 Norwood Gazebo to replace a flimsy metal gazebo. I have had 2 different metal gazebos the last few years & I have had to replace the cloth canopies 3 times even though I removed them in the fall. It was getting quite expensive to keep fixing them. I am sooo glad I found this Norwood gazebo because it is extremely strong & sturdy and it looks great!! Although it is initially more expensive than the cheap gazebos I had been purchasing, my new Norwood gazebo should last a long time, and without having to mess around removing and reinstalling a canopy seasonally. Another great feature is the power distribution box. I am planning to put lights & a TV in it so this adds even more value. They have a website that shows how to easily assemble it & I would recommend to anyone purchasing one to refer to it. I am extremely happy with my purchase & would absolutely recommend it!

I bought this because it looked like a good value, and everything was included. I pre stained mine, and I would recommend doing it, It will add a couple of days to the assembly time. I was short some hardware. Most of the hardware bags had 1 extra piece , however some were short several pieces. I did erect this myself, except for the roof, with many saw horses, and scaffolding.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Gazebo last Summer and have been enjoying it more than anything. The fact we can bbq and sit out back and not get beat down by the direct hit of the sun is a pleasure and my family and I are truly putting it to great use.
